True story teller

Everyone told me that I should lower my expectations and be more realistic in my life.
Thing is, I’m never going to listen to all the people telling me what I can’t do, what I shouldn’t want or how I should live.
They don’t walk in my shoes and they don’t know my reasons that push me every day.
Maybe for them, ordinary and average is enough, but I’ll never be the person that is okay with a lackluster life or days without passion.
If I’m doing something, loving someone or chasing my dreams, I’m always going to be all in.
I don’t anything halfway and I walk away if I can’t put all of my heart and soul into it.
That’s just who I am and will always be.
I know I’ll always have days when I get knocked down and times when life brings me to my knees…
But I’ll never stay down and I’ll definitely never quit.
I want more out of this life and I’ll only get there if I keep going, keep fighting and continuing to rise above.
I know it won’t be easy and I’ll want to quit more than I’ll want to fight, but I’m still going to keep pressing forward.
There’s so much for me still to do and a lot of life, love and joy just waiting for me…
So, excuse me while I forge my wings from the fires of my failures and learn how to fly higher than I ever have before.
I know who I am and where I’m headed, and there’s a star out there in that night sky with my name on it..
And that’s exactly where I’m headed.
This is my time and my choice, and I’m making the most of it.
No matter how hard it gets or how frenzied the storms that come, I’m meant for more.
I’ve got this..
And I always will.
This…is my

Falling in love is the most beautiful feeling, ever. But sometimes, you end up unloving yourself just to love that person. Many people fall into this trap of doing anything for love. What is that anything? Efforts? Alright, great. Loyalty? Always, perfect. Care? Great thing, well done. But killing your own happiness to keep the love alive? Su***de, plain and simple. And most people commit this su***de with a smile on lips. They dig their own grave and they dance on their own funeral on that selfless love long. Yes, love can make you that blind, that stupid. At least thousands of people have admitted to me that they have been so stupid. It goes something like this “You won’t believe what I did for that person. I have ruined my entire life to make the relation work. But in the end what I got? I lost everything, my friends, my life, my smile, my self-respect, my peace.”

And that makes me write this. Please for your own sake, please don’t romanticize sacrificing your self-respect to keep love. It’s a dumb idea that will haunt your soul forever. A love that needs you to cut down on your self-respect, your smile, your friendships, your career, or your family must be cut off immediately. It’s a warning sign of the highest severity. That person is just tightening the grip on your throat with that control. If you accept to adjust now, you will be choked further. And before you know it, it will get so suffocating that you would want to rather die than stay in that toxic relationship. Love should make you feel free and happy. Happiness. I repeat, happiness is what love is about. You should make that person happy. And that person should make you happy too. It’s about that mutual respect and care. And when you really love someone, you want to see that person happy, always. The tragedy happens when only one person’s happiness matters to both the people. It sounds so selfless and romantic, but it’s a dagger to your own heart wrapped as a bday present. Please don’t kill yourself t
